Denmark, around 1900. Young Per has had enough of the tedium of Jutland, his dominant father and his sternly religious family. He's mad about industrialisation and the ideas of the Modern Age and sets out for Copenhagen to become an engineer. Parallel to his studies, he works on a revolutionary waterway project. The idea of the century or merely a pipe dream? While Per at first enjoys a certain amount of recognition for his ideas, he soon gets the impression that Denmark is no place for visionaries.

What comes to my mind when I remember this movie? That it was damn long, but like really. 162 minutes about a guy who couldn't shut up and gradually transformed in front of the screen is probably enough for everyone. On the other hand, the topic is supposedly a must-read in Denmark, so I understand that someone wanted to put their heart into the film adaptation. It had its moments and because of them, it's worth enduring almost three hours. If I had to name the film somehow, it would be like a total epic family drama from a Danish setting.
